This is despite the report acknowledging Iran's increased presence in the hemisphere along with the country's "marked resurgence" of sponsored terrorism.

Reminds me of the old quip that “there are no mice in this house — the rats have eaten them all!” So who’s taken over the old stand — the Muslim Brotherhood would be my guess!

The State Department is deluded if they actually believe this. They know the facts and this statement borders on insanity.

June 6, 1944:

German High Command: Pay no attention to all those ships approaching Normandy...they are not really there.

Didnt two brothers set off two bombs in boston recently? These same two brothers were loosely tied to a chechen affiliate to al qaeda?
May I am misinterpreting the official statement. Maybe it should be read, the state dept. Has asked the cia created group of radical islamists known as al qaeda to please refrain from actively persuing any operations in the western hemisphere at this time.

This tells us a lot more about the state of our intellilgence agencies than it does Al Qaeda.

..state dept has become the lair of complete buffons.

This happened or became profoundly worse under Hillary Rodham Clinton's watch we should remember. Hillary Rodham Clinton wants to become our next President. God help us and our Nation.

It’s racist to suggest the dear one is lying, incompetent or a moslem trojan horse. The state department’s one job is to propagandize and calm the public into submission.

omuslim met with the muslim brotherhood in the white hut several times in the last year.
baraq is selling us out while his state department says that there is no danger.

Until the next attack.

Well, okay, there might be one in Cincinnati, but it’s more of an acquaintance than a cell.
